Jill Scott Lands New Role On CBS Drama ‘Second Sight’

After wooing audiences on Minghella’s ‘The No.1 Ladies’ Detective Agency‘, the ‘Cross My Mind’ singer has inked a new deal with CBS to star in their forthcoming drama ‘Second Sight‘.

All the ‘deets’ on Scott’s new gig below…

Set to star alongside Jason Lee, Jill will play a Dr. Callier, tasked with handling the ocular disease that makes the show’s protaginist experience horrific hallucinations.

Based in New Orleans, the psychological thriller will no doubt mark new territory for the Soul belle whose latest album ‘The Light Of Sun‘ debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200, her fourth LP since her 2000 debut ‘Who Is Jill Scott? Words & Sounds Vol.1′, which has now been certified 2x Platinum in the US and Gold in the UK.

This makes me smile. Jill is ALWAYS working and so she’s always building her audience. She doesn’t away for years and then expect everyone to love her when she comes back, she has a consistent hustle. *sideeyes other r&b girls.
